La dolce vita (restored Italian version with English subtitles)
Regia: Federico Fellini
Cast: Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg, Anouk Aimée, Yvonne Furneaux, Magali Noël
The most famous film in the history of Italian cinema returns to the big screen at Giunti Odeon, in a restored version with English subtitles: one of Federico Fellini's masterpieces, La dolce vita (1960). In Rome, in broad daylight, a statue of Jesus Christ appears in the sky, transported by a helicopter. The vision arouses the interest of a large part of the population, from the youngsters of the suburbs to the rich ladies of the penthouses in the city centre, and a reporter, Marcello Rubini, takes the opportunity to have the scenes immortalised by his photographer friends and the faithful photojournalist Paparazzo. Marcello is an aspiring writer who works for a tabloid newspaper, stationed every night in front of the clubs in Via Vittorio Veneto in search of some gossip or sensational photos of the acquaintances of showbiz personalities, rich bourgeoisies or aristocrats in search of excess. Despite living with a very jealous and depressed woman, Emma, Marcello has acquaintances with women of all kinds and from all walks of life. On the day an important Swedish actress arrives in Rome, Marcello accompanies the delegation to an open-air club in the Roman ruins and then escapes with the woman through the streets of central Rome.

The restaurant
Caffè Odeon, a place to nourish mind and body
Open daily: 11:30 AM - 12:00 AM
Caffè Odeon in Florence was born from the encounter with the Giunti publishing house, and from the project to give new life to the historic Odeon cinema, transforming it into a multifunctional cultural center.
The idea is simple and ambitious: to create a space open all day, like the great Mitteleuropean cafés, where you can enjoy dishes from different gastronomic traditions, a varied pastry selection, a carefully curated coffee service, as well as wines, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.
Eating, drinking a coffee or a good glass of wine have much in common with reading a book or watching a film: they are different ways of experiencing stories, through the senses. It is this connection that makes our dream a reality.
A place of history and beauty
Since 1922, the most beautiful films, the most distinguished guests, and the most remarkable events have taken the stage at the magnificent cinema-theatre in Piazza Strozzi, Florence. Come visit us.
